Once you've exported your website from a no-code builder, you need a place to put it. The good news? We are living in the golden age of static hosting. There are incredible infrastructure platforms available for **free**.

Whether you've exported from [Framer](https://www.nocodeexport.com/en/framer), [Webflow](https://www.nocodeexport.com/en/webflow), [Wix](https://www.nocodeexport.com/en/wix-to-html), or [Squarespace](https://www.nocodeexport.com/en/squarespace), compare each provider's current limits and test your static package before launch.

Here are our top 5 picks for 2026.

## 1. Vercel
**Best for:** Next.js users and performance freaks.

Vercel is the company behind Next.js. Their edge network is blazing fast.

*   **Pros:** Incredible performance, ease of use, zero-config for most frameworks.
*   **Cons:** Bandwidth limits on free tier (though hard to hit for personal sites).
*   **Free tier:** 100 GB bandwidth/month, unlimited sites.

> **💡 Vercel Pro-Tip:** Vercel is highly recommended if you care about your site loading in under a second worldwide. 

## 2. Netlify
**Best for:** Simplicity and easy features like Forms.

Netlify pioneered the modern static site movement ("JAMstack"). See our [step-by-step guide to deploying on Netlify](https://www.nocodeexport.com/en/blog/how-to-host-framer-on-netlify).

*   **Pros:** "Netlify Drop" is the easiest drag-and-drop hosting anywhere. Built-in form handling is a lifesaver.
*   **Cons:** Build times can be slower on the free tier compared to Vercel.
*   **Free tier:** 100 GB bandwidth/month, 300 build minutes.

## 3. GitHub Pages
**Best for:** Developers and Open Source projects.

If you already use Git, this is a no-brainer.
*   **Pros:** Completely free, directly integrated with your repo, custom domain support.
*   **Cons:** Configuration is slightly more technical; no built-in form handling.
*   **Free tier:** 100 GB bandwidth/month (soft limit), unlimited.

## 4. Cloudflare Pages
**Best for:** Security and Global reach.

Runs on Cloudflare's massive global network.
*   **Pros:** Unmatched speed and DDoS protection. **Bandwidth: check current plan terms** on free tier.
*   **Cons:** Newer, so fewer "quality of life" features than Netlify.
*   **Free tier:** Bandwidth: check current plan terms, 500 builds/month.

## 5. Firebase Hosting
**Best for:** Apps already in the Google ecosystem.

*   **Pros:** Fast, reliable, Google-backed infrastructure.
*   **Cons:** Setup requires CLI tools; can be overkill for a simple portfolio.
*   **Free tier:** 10 GB storage, 360 MB/day transfer.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the best free static hosting provider in 2026?

### How do I deploy a static HTML site to Netlify for free?

The easiest method is Netlify Drop: visit app.netlify.com/drop, drag your website folder onto the page, and your site is live in seconds with a free SSL certificate and .netlify.app subdomain. You can also connect a Git repo for automatic deployments.

### Is GitHub Pages good for hosting a static website?

GitHub Pages is excellent for static websites, especially if you already use Git. It's completely free, supports custom domains with free SSL, and integrates directly with your repository.
